Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 998,727 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 998,727 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 998/26,727/487 is 1/12662
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 26,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,487) = ( 26 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(26,487) = 12662 / 1
LCM(26,487) = 12662
